I welcome you to fly the gerhardt cycleplane!!!! Dr. W. Frederick Gerhardt this airplane was part of the very begging of aviation!!!!. The flight characteristics of this plane surprisingly good, and the landing characteristics are even better;) Although this plane surprisingly flew back in the day (1923) an auto mobile towed this plane into the air, and this even flew of human power! thus the name cycleplane! I hope you enjoy, this was just something fun to make :) THIS IS MORE OR LESS HOW HOW IT LANDS WATCH THIS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsywnRpRDUM
